Feral Interactive have released the specifications required to run DiRT Rally that will release on March 2nd for Linux. See their news here.

Minimum:
Intel Core i3-4130T or AMD FX6300 processor
Ubuntu 16.10 (64bit) or SteamOS (2.0 : 2.110)
8GB RAM and a 1GB NVIDIA 650ti/AMD R9 270 graphics card* or better.

Recommended
Intel Core i7-4770 processor
8GB RAM
4GB NVIDIA 970 graphics card* or better.

*NVIDIA graphics cards require driver version 370.28. AMD graphics cards require MESA 13.0.2 or better.

It's fantastic to see another Feral Interactive port with day-1 Mesa support, so this should keep the AMD crew happy.

I'm hoping to have a review and port report ready for release as usual, so stay tuned for that.

Will you be picking up a copy? I look forward to livestreaming it with some of you! Going to be a fun game to get a tournament going in. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

So, if anyone from Feral reads this: does this need the same stupid SSSE3 support that Deus Ex needs?

4770 as recommended cpu.. that means my FX-8320@4,5ghz wont have nice time cranking everything to max?

Ryzen is not far away though :D

Finally! Rallies! :D

Pardon my noobish question but I have Ubuntu 16.04 and the game requires 16.10. Is there a chance I could run the game on 16.04? I don't feel like upgrading my perfectly working OS because of one game...

I'll definitely be getting a copy. My system is good to go.

Yeah youre right bulldozer and derivatives have very low single thread performance compared with haswell and upper

Ryzen must be appear in some place in march, if at least have haswell single thread performance are acceptable if is more cheap than intel alternatives

Will it really have to be Ubuntu 16.10? Like library-wise? Or will 16.04 LTS be working, too?

The engine Codemasters use is not multithread friendly. It task a single core and let the rest do squat. There is nothing Feral can do to correct that.

I also have a FX8350 but I took a opportunity to buy a friends i7 3770k last year and man, the performance diference in Grid Autosport and some other games are huge. That also occurs in Windows, BTW.

So if Ryzen do it stuff well, I gonna take one too, especially if some manufacturer bother to launch a Mini-ITX AM4 board.
